On Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, at approximately 1212 hours, I was dispatched to the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office in reference to a fraud report.
I met with [WITNESS #1], who advised she is the caretaker and legal guardian of [VICTIM #1], who has Down syndrome. [WITNESS #1] stated she has been [VICTIM #1]’s guardian since September 18th, following the death of [VICTIM #1]’s sister and previous guardian, [REDACTED]. [WITNESS #1] reported that since assuming custody of [VICTIM #1], she has noticed $1,500.00 in fraudulent charges on [VICTIM #1]’s Truist Bank account.
[WITNESS #1] advised that approximately one week after [REDACTED] passed away, [REDACTED]’s children informed her that individuals had broken into [REDACTED]’s residence and stolen her purse. [WITNESS #1] stated no police report was made at the time, and she was unsure why. She further stated that because [REDACTED] was [VICTIM #1]’s previous guardian, [VICTIM #1]’s banking information was inside [REDACTED]’s purse when it was stolen. [WITNESS #1] believes that whoever took the purse may be the individual(s) who made the fraudulent charges on [VICTIM #1]’s account.
I provided [WITNESS #1] with a case number and advised her to contact the Bartow County Sheriff’s Office with any questions.

BOND SET FOR JESSICA SHEA BROWN — $7,500 SECURED
What this means: A bond of $7,500 was set for Jessica Shea Brown, allowing her the opportunity to be released from the Bartow County Jail while her case moves forward. The bond was approved through Bond James Bond company. The document reflects charges related to exploitation and intimidation of disabled adults, elder persons, and residents, financial transaction card fraud, and financial transaction card theft — all of which Brown is accused of. Paying the bond does not resolve the charges; it simply means she would not have to remain in jail while awaiting future court proceedings. Clark Millsap serves as Bartow County Sheriff.
